Did anyone else see the girl with the cardinal and gold beat iowa tshirt during the "wave" at that place out east? We should figure out who she is and crowdfund her!
New tradition
- Thread starter cedarstrip
- Start date
I like new traditions. I like being marketed and branded too. The old tradition of singing Sweet Caroline needs to be retired and we could do the wave.
Mizzou football....haha. Just collecting pay checks now. Pinkel and company sure screwed that thing up.

I'd like the 3rd quarter ender to be the "roll out the barrel / fight song polka" the band does. It's fun, you can sing to it, it references beer, relatively original... why not.
I love "Beer Barrel Polka" and the fact it has the same chords as "ISU Fights" so you can play one over the top of the other as much as the next guy.
Who knew you could write a fight song by playing polka chords really fast?
But...
That was originally just a fun little thing the pep band trumpets did before it went big time with the marching band trying to play that during timeouts.
What held it back is what I put in bold above -- huge Wisconsin tradition...
Kind of their equivalent to "Hey Jude" or "In Heaven There Is No Better" with Iowa.
Fun, but not particularly original when it comes to football. But, damn, I would take a kazoo version of "God Save the Queen" over "Sweet Caroline" again at this point.

You may not like the Hawkeyes, but this story is inspiring and makes me appreciate what Ferentz and his family do for those children. I am a die hard Cyclone but this shows you real life perspective which is great. Go Clones!

I think what U of I is doing is great and I think its so awesome those kids and their families get to watch the game and the crowd waving to them is great. i think the publicity they get is great and deserved.
What bothers is me is all the fans and publicity stating "best tradition in sports" or "Iowa Football has the best tradition" Its literally happend twice, its not a tradition in any sense of the word.

My favorite post of the year so far. Bravo!
How bout LMFAO Party Rock instead of Sweet Caroline? I'd dance to that.

Very cool - glad she and her family are representing!
There is a picture from the outside looking in that I found a few days ago, but I can't find it right now. In that one you can clearly see the shirt. Here's from the ESPN feed.
